Star Wars: Visions (2021– )
5/10
From Incredibly Enjoyable to Incredibly Lackluster

Warning: Spoilers
I'm not sharing anything specific, but I will still put a spoiler warning on here just in case.

Here is the problem with Visions: Some of the episodes are absolutely amazing and really well done (The Duel, The 9th Jedi) and then others are just absolute garbage (Tatooine Rhapsody, The Twins).

I saw someone praising Visions for giving us something new in the backdrop of a universe we all love. Thor from Ragnarok immediately popped into my mind's eye, and I thought, "Did they though?" Almost all the episodes follow the same formula: a hidden "force user" (not always a jedi) steps forward to save the day. The only episode that doesn't follow this formula, and only within the last two minutes, is Akakiri.

It's a shame, because some of the episodes are really fun! Then there are the ones that just aren't (two living people fighting in the void of space with no protection, and yet the Droid is wearing a breathing bubble? Really?)

Of course, animation also has the power to alienate people, so some of the styles you will probably love and others you probably won't, and that's okay. I can only give it a '5' because the episodes that are good are really good and the ones that aren't are terrible.
